“A lot of news makes its way into Black Street. A lot of it also can’t be spread in the outside world, which is why it ends up in Black Street, as the powerhouse involved can’t come to Black Street. Here, the information gets locked up and then doesn’t spread anywhere.” Ming Yan was quite proud of herself.
“Oh, and also…”
Lu Yin was thrilled as he listened to Ming Yan proudly share all kinds of gossip. He hugged and kissed her, making her blush. Most of the information that made it to Black Street was unreliable, but when enough information was compiled and combined, it was possible to learn some secrets.
Lu Yin asked Ming Yan to get in touch with En Ya so that Black Street’s information could be collected and shared with the Great Eastern Alliance in the future.
Lu Yin left after spending just a few days at Black Street. He could not afford to stay at Black Street for long. Burial Garden’s gates made everything uncertain, and no one knew who might suddenly come out of an exit.
Xia Yi had arrived in the heart of the Great Eastern Alliance after exiting Burial Garden, but fortunately, the Sea King had appeared. If not for that, the Great Eastern Alliance would have suffered severe losses, and both Chen Huang and Emperor Luo would have died without question.
After leaving Black Street, Lu Yin called the Sea King. He had tried to get through to Wang Wen while on his way to Black Street, but he had not been able to connect. Instead, Lu Yin had been updated on the recent happenings of the Great Eastern Alliance through Wei Rong. There were a few matters that Wei Rong did not know how to handle, so he had put them off until hearing from Lu Yin or Wang Wen.
There were certain things that had to be taken care of quickly.
“Give me a good explanation.” Lu Yin heard a low voice when the call connected.
Lu Yin coughed. “What is Senior talking about?”
The Sea King shouted angrily, “That bastard Wang Wen who’s under your command dared to try to hook up with my Qiqi! He’s yours, isn’t he?”
“Hook up with Qiqi? That’s impossible, Senior. This junior knows Wang Wen. He’s a talented and well-disciplined young man with integrity, morals, and wisdom. How could he possibly have pursued Qiqi?” Lu Yin retorted.
The Sea King just snorted. “Cut the bullshit and give me an answer.”
“Where’s Wang Wen? I want to talk to him,” Lu Yin replied.
The Sea King spat back, “I locked him up. When did I go soft and start letting things go?”
“Where’s Qiqi?” Lu Yin continued.
The Sea King suddenly sounded frustrated. “I don’t know.”
“Senior, this is all your fault! You broke up a happy couple with a good relationship.”
“Good relationship my ass! That kid’s too arrogant! He set a trap and made a bet that if Qiqi loses she’ll have to marry him! When has anyone toyed with my daughter like this?” the Sea King roared.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. Listening to this old man was giving him a headache. He hung up and instead called Hai Qiqi.
Hai Qiqi did not want to answer, but Lu Yin did not relent until she finally had no choice but to answer. “State your matters, or else you may take your leave.”
“Qiqi, Wang Wen’s been tortured very badly,” Lu Yin quietly informed her.
Hai Qiqi yelled back, “He deserves it! Who made him so ugly? I’d marry him if he were handsome, but he sucks! On top of that, he called me a chesspiece! Bastard!”
“It’s about his appearance?” Lu Yin asked. He purposely ignored her comment about Wang Wen’s insults, as Hai Qiqi’s tongue was just as sharp as Wang Wen’s.
“Yes, it’s his face!” Hai Qiqi said.
Lu Yin retorted, “Then your taste is the problem.”
Hai Qiqi screamed, “That’s ridiculous! He’s even uglier than you!”
Lu Yin pursed his lips. “Honestly, Wang Wen’s cared for you for quite a while, and he’s currently being tortured by your father. Even if you don’t feel anything for him, you still shouldn’t let him suffer like this. Think about it.”
Lu Yin hung up without waiting for a reply.
Lu Yin did not know what Wang Wen was thinking. Lu Yin could still remember a conversation that the two of them once had, and Wang Wen would not have purposely flirted with Hai Qiqi. After all, he wanted the Sea King to step in and lead the Lu Elite Troops.
Lu Yin decided to forget about the whole thing. This was not a situation that he could do much about.
As for what Hai Qiqi felt towards Wang Wen, that was not for Lu Yin to consider, as he did not even know where to begin. No matter what may have happened between the two young people, Lu Yin knew that the Sea King would not actually kill Wang Wen. At most, he would teach the youth a lesson.
Lu Yin released Lulu from Zenith Mountain. “Let’s go. We’ll take a trip to see your Mavis family.”
While Lulu was leading Lu Yin to visit the Mavis family, images of Yang Kong and the others in his group had been exposed and spread across the Fifth Mainland’s network. All of them were denounced as traitors who had betrayed humanity, as they had clearly only entered Burial Garden to hunt down the ancient bloodlines.
Lu Yin was the one who had released this information, as he was determined to ruin every plan that the Aeternals tried to enact.
However, this matter naturally led to an even greater scandal, which was Yang Kong’s identity.
Many people recognized that Yang Kong was actually Bu Kong, and this revelation stirred up waves of commotion in both the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands.
After ZENITH, Bu Kong’s death had been confirmed, but it was just been revealed that Bu Kong had actually betrayed humanity and was currently hunting down people with ancient bloodlines under the Aeternals’ orders! This was something that no one in either the Fifth Mainland or the Sixth Mainland could understand.
The Progenitor of Secret Arts’ Territory became the focus of everyone’s attention, and the Sixth Mainland’s Daosource Sect even sent someone to speak to the Progenitor of Secret Arts himself and ask about the authenticity of Yang Kong’s true identity being Bu Kong. However, they were firmly told that Bu Kong was dead and that Yang Kong was not Bu Kong.
The universe started boiling because of the information that Lu Yin had exposed, but Lu Yin himself was quietly traveling with Lulu to visit the Mavis family.
The Mavis family was located in the eastern region of the Neoverse, which was in the same general area as Black Street, so the two were not far apart. However, the Mavis family could not be found in outer space, but were instead crawling through the mountains of the Honor Zone.
“Actually, they’re not in the eastern region, but rather on the eastern side,” Lulu corrected.
“Eastern side?” Lu Yin had to ask.
Lulu lifted her head up high. “My Mavis family lives on the back of our Ancestor Tortoise, and the Ancestor Tortoise roams about the entire Neoverse. My Mavis family is always with the Ancestor Tortoise, so our home doesn’t have a fixed location.”
“What if it wanders over to Mt. Microcosms?” Lu Yin asked.
Lulu froze for a moment and then rolled her eyes at Lu Yin. “You’re a really amazing conversationalist, aren’t you?.”
However, Lu Yin had not been messing around. He genuinely wanted to know what would happen if the Ancestor Tortoise tried to climb Mt. Microcosms. Would the Hall of Honor kick the Mavis family out?
As Lu Yin stared out at the wilderness of the Honor Zone, he sighed. He always found the Honor Zone’s landscape to be amazing. He truly could not understand how the Fifth Mainland had once been an actual continent, and even had something to do with becoming a Progenitor.
“Oh, Lulu, what happened to that Explorer-level turtle you tamed back on Earth?” Lu Yin suddenly remembered and asked.
A gloomy look appeared on Lulu’s face. “It’s dead.”
